    These NFL Receivers Will Hit Their Receiving Lines In 2024

    By Drew Palmer,

    It’s always fun to glance at the rushing and receiving lines that the sportsbooks set for players before the season, and why not throw a couple in? Responsibly of course. These guys are primed to go over their receiving yard total in 2024.


    6. Mike Evans - Over 1000.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

    Mike Evans will turn 31 years old before the season starts, but it’s hard to bet against the guy. He makes it look easy to get 1,000 yards. He’s hit this number every single season of his career. 10 straight seasons. There's no betting against Mike Evans in this house.


    5. Jameson Williams - Over 635.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

    This is potentially the scariest one, as Jameson Williams is yet to have a season of over 400 receiving yards, let alone 635. This season, Head Coach Dan Campbell has described Williams as a “man on a mission” in his new role as the WR2 on a Lions team with Super Bowl aspirations. Everybody has seen the flashes from him, but his inability to stay on the field has severely hindered him. If he can play at least 15 games this season, this number is getting smashed.


    4. George Pickens - Over 975.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

    This is the season that George Pickens should officially put himself on the map if he hasn’t already. Last season, Pickens was able to post 1,140 yards with an awful cocktail of quarterback play. He led the NFL in yards per catch despite having a quarterback that ranked 32nd in yards per attempt. If Russell Wilson has any kind of pulse, Pickens will go over 1,000 again, especially if Pickens can stay on the field as he has thus far in his career.


    3. Rome Odunze - Over 695.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

    It’s hard to predict what rookies will accomplish in their first year in the NFL, especially for Rome Odunze who will have Caleb Williams throwing to him. He will also split targets with DJ Moore , Keenan Allen , and Cole Kmet . Despite not being the first option, Odunze should be able to hit this, as he would have to average just 40.9 yards per game. That just means he has to be as productive as Odell Beckham Jr , Romeo Doubs , and Demario Davis were last season. He can do that.


    2. Rashid Shaheed - Over 675.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

    Last season, Saints receiver Rashid Shaheed played in 15 games and was able to put up 719 receiving yards. This season in New Orleans, Shaheed is the solidified WR2. No more Michael Thomas being in and out of the lineup to mess with him; it’s officially his time to shine. At 17 games played, he would need just 39.8 yards per game to hit this line. There will likely be games where he gets more than that in one catch.


    1. Kyle Pitts - Over 750.5 Receiving Yards (-112)

    The only tight end on this list, Kyle Pitts is entering a big year. He hasn’t necessarily been worth the hype to this point, but he’s still a good player. He's just suffered from being in an offense that didn’t seem to fit him, or anyone in Atlanta. Even in those conditions, Pitts was able to put up 667 receiving yards last season and 1,026 in his rookie season. This is probably one of the tougher lines here, but hopefully Kirk Cousins can take Pitts over the top and get him to 751.
